The Washington Commanders can afford to move on from their dependable running back, but they must get their star wide receiver back on the field.

Previous reports indicated that the unsettled WR was looking to land "parts" of the five-year, $150M contract that the Pittsburgh Steelers gave DK Metcalf earlier this year.

As the impasse continues, with McLaurin absent from the team's second preseason game on Monday, some large questions remain unanswered.

As he remains in search of an extension with the Commanders, one insider dove into the unlikeliness of Terry McLaurin getting the sizable offer he desires.

The Washington Commanders still have a need, and here is one trade they must make before Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season.

Wide receiver Mitchell Tinsley scored two touchdowns on passes from quarterback Jake Browning in the second quarter of the NFL Week 2 preseason game against the Commanders. Tinsley signed with the Commanders as an undrafted free agent out of college and was signed by the Bengals for this preseason.

The Week 2 NFL preseason schedule closes out when the Cincinnati Bengals visit the Washington Commanders on Monday. Last week, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Bengals, 34-27. On the other side, the Commanders were blown out 48-18 by the New England Patriots.
